Probably not. But, the light can be run at a lower level. I have remade the bypass with a larger wire due to this happening on some of my S21As, too. At first, I was surprised it happened because the stock wire looked ok.
In the “12 groups” driver instruction it is mentioned: “BTW, do not leave the light in config mode for long period of time, because it will wear out the driver’s memory faster.”
Does that mean that Convoy lights with the “4 modes” driver will last longer than those with “12 groups” driver ?
Cheers everyone!
Does anyone know what kind of thread is used in the tailcap to hold the switch in place? For a modification project I need to 3D print a part with the same thread. I’m from Europe so I’m not familiar with threads outside of metric threads. My closest guess would be ANSI 3/4-28 UN right now? Unfortunately, a test printed ANSI 3/4-28 UN created with Fusion 360 did not fit.
Thank you, Jan
To my knowledge M19 isn’t a common thread size - so Fusion360 doesn’t have a M19 thread option out of the box - and that’s why I’ve been looking for 3/4” non metric threads instead. But you are right, if (!) it’s a metric thread, it would be M19 x 0,75.
I don’t have such with me (S21A) but from justanotherguy if it has .75mm pitch (eyeballing it), I be looking at 3/4” x 32 TPI Left Hand. That’s closer to .75mm than 28 TPI.
BTW, all 24 or 32 TPI are standard on inch stock bar. But a better way to check pitch is against a known screw. Doesn’t matter the size, just if the threads mesh*. OD of threaded part is always some .005 to .008” less than nominal (sometimes much more for sloppy fit).
EDIT: * Oops – Left-hand thread can’t mesh stock screws (right hand). But check if crests line up.
Could check with standard #6, #8, or #10 screw (these are 32TPI) and aligning up the crests. Might need a magnifier to get into the tight spaces.
Geez, my bad. You’re in Germany so those screws wouldn’t be readily available. Perhaps from some US made item, just provisional borrowing.
Addendum:
Don’t mean to be condescent, but a set of screw pitch gages saves the day (Link to Ali Ex). Machinist by trade and had a few surprises with some of the in-house threads – flashlights and other things. Also a digital caliper is essential in measurement (link Ali Ex ).
